What if you bought 2 tickets for every drawing for your entire life? Then would you have a chance of winning?

Now we take the years I have left to play multiplied by the drawings per year to get 5,824 drawings over my life.

If I buy 1 ticket for each of the 5,824 drawings, it would cost $5,824 and my odds of winning are 5,824 in 258,890,850. This roughly equals 1 in 44,452. This doesn’t sound like a great ROI.

I can double my odds if I buy 2 tickets for each of the 5,824 drawings. Again, it would cost $11,648 and my odds of winning are 11,648 in 258,890,850. This roughly equals 1 in 22,226. Better, but not sure I’m will drop that kind of dough.
